They spent the rest of the day and night at their penthouse. Fulfilling Samuel’s desire, they made love so many times until Amy lost count. They did it on the bathtub, whirlpool, table, wall, and also on the balcony. Though at first Amy didn’t want to do it outside, he could convince her that as they were in the highest level of the hotel, no one would see them. It was a blissful moment for them. The next day, Amy couldn’t walk because of the exhaustion. He promised to carry her to the car whenever they would return home. But after taking a nap for a few hours, Amy recovered and could walk side by side with Samuel to the limousine. Reporters kept chasing them because it was huge news for them. Knowing Samuel as one of the most eligible bachelors who didn’t want to get married, they were curious to know how Amy could make him propose to her. They returned home with the private jet again, and the reporters had been waiting for them at the airport. When they walked to the black SUV
Amy already went to hand in her resignation letter. Miguel drove her to her workplace. Samuel called the detective to send the evidence he had right away. When the courier sent a thin folder, he tipped the man a hundred dollars and rushed to bring the folder to his working room. Opening the folder, he read one by one. After finishing reading it all, he took a deep breath, thinking about what steps he would do to ensure the highest revenge impact. Then he called John Beck, the lawyer. “Mr. Beck, it’s Samuel Hoffner. I recently married Amy Brooke. I believe her late parents were your clients.” “Mr. Hoffner, yes, it’s true. I’m still their lawyer. In fact, Mr. Tom Brooke continues using my service as a lawyer for the Jewelry Palace.” Samuel grinned. Rubbing his chin, he continued, “I see. I wonder if you can meet me at a cafe an hour from now? I have something to discuss with you, and I will send the address by text.” “Sure, Mr. Hoffner, I will gladly meet you there.” “See you so
After discussing the plan for fifteen minutes, the lawyer left the cafe. They made an appointment to meet again there in two hours. Samuel contacted a few stock brokers and asked them to buy the Jewelry Palace stock. He wanted to decrease the price in just a few hours. So, when the scheme began, they started buying the stock, and the price increased quickly. It attracted more people to buy, so the price rose even higher. However, as Samuel ordered to do a major sale fifteen minutes later, the price plummeted, and there was a panic selling in the market. It was all over the news, and as a result, the price dropped even faster. The board of commissioners had an urgent meeting right away. Tom Brooke was the most sought person for the meeting as they wanted to ask him how the price could drop. Tom locked himself in the working room while his assistant knocked on the door. “Sir, you must attend the meeting soon.” “Go away! I need time to think!” Tom said. “But sir, the commissioners
After telling Kelly she wanted to resign, Amy said goodbye to all. She didn’t tell Kelly anything about her marriage, and Kelly accepted her resignation well. Amy bought a newspaper from a stand nearby the cafe and checked the news. She was lucky that the reporters didn’t have her close-up photo. The only photo they posted was the intimate kissing photo that didn’t show her face. Miguel drove her to the hospital. The nurse who worked in the afternoon shift smiled at her. “Ms. Brooke, how are you? Oops, sorry, it’s Mrs. Hoffner now, right? Congratulations!” Amy blushed and smiled to hear what the nurse said. “Yes, I’m Mrs. Hoffner now. How is Jillian?” “The condition is still the same.” Amy closed her eyes as she didn’t want to shed tears before the nurse. After taking a deep breath a few times, she finally opened her eyes again and asked, “What did the doctor say?” “Doctor Benjamin said nothing is wrong with Miss Jillian’s brain or nerves. It’s still a mystery why she hasn’t be
Samuel and the former chairman board assigned the vice CEO as the temporary CEO. The temporary CEO would assist Amy later to do the work. Amy was still too shocked because of knowing her uncle was the one who was responsible for her parents’ deaths. That’s why Samuel didn’t tell her about the future plan: to return Jewelry Palace to her and place Amy as the new CEO. But all the staff knew about it, and they supported the plan because regardless of her young age, Amy was the legitimate heir of Peter and Melanie. She had any right to continue her parents’ legacy. After dealing with Tom Brooke and returning the company to Amy (though she didn’t know about it yet), Samuel started thinking of a plan to destroy Jacob and Gwen. But before that, he remembered something. So, he called someone. It was 8 p.m. when Amy woke up. Samuel let her get rest and didn’t disturb her. After having dinner with Samuel, she checked her phone. There were ten missed calls from Caroline. So, Amy immediately ca
The informant Samuel hired immediately reported what he heard to him. Samuel clenched his hand and muttered, “The woman invites a doom herself. Fine! I will give her what she wants!” He told the informant, “Spread the news in the college that Amy is the wife of a billionaire, but don’t spread my name. You can tell some general information. I want to see if this evil woman can still lift her head.” “Yes, sir!” The informant did what Samuel said. Soon, many people approached Gwen, as they wanted to get a hundred grand from her. Gwen frowned and shook her head. “Who is the billionaire’s name? I need clear information.” “It is said that the billionaire was one of the most eligible bachelors before marrying her. I also heard that the billionaire cares for her until he also takes care of her sister’s health care.” More frowns were on Gwen’s forehead. She knew about Jillian who was still in the hospital. So, the information might be true. But no one knew who the billionaire was. Gwen k
Instead of helping, Tanya, Jacob’s mother, scolded Gwen’s father. She even said, “My son has ended his relationship with your daughter. Please don’t disturb me again!” Then she ended the call. Gwen’s father was too shocked to say anything. He put the phone on the table. His wife stared at him and impatiently asked, “What did Jacob’s parents say?” “It’s his mother who picked up my call. She said Jacob has already ended their relationship with Gwen.” “What?! But they will get married in a few months. How can he end the relationship so easily?” Gwen’s father said nothing. Since his wife kept complaining, finally he snapped. “Stop it! It’s your fault! You didn’t teach Gwen well. Now she is humiliating our family. She can’t even keep her fiance!” “Don’t talk to me like that! You, as her father, what did you do to teach her too? Huh? Why did you only blame me?” Gwen’s father rushed to leave his wife, but Gwen’s mother held his arm. He pulled his arm, but his strength to pull his a
Amy stared at Samuel and asked, “Who are the ones you considered as my enemies?” Samuel shrugged. “Well, for sure, your uncle. He has been taken care of. Then, Gwen Johnson, you don’t need to think about her either. I have given her a lesson. But then, I’m surprised to see karma works even better than my plan.” “What did you do?” “Well, it’s enough to say that I wanted to give her a lesson, so she wouldn’t make trouble with you anymore. The last thing I heard is she wanted to ruin your name.” “What?!” Amy gasped. “But I have done nothing bad to her. Even after catching her with Jacob, I didn’t take revenge on her.” He let out a sigh and hugged Amy. Caressing her hair, he said, “You are too kind, darling. That’s why people can take advantage and trample on you.” “I believe everything will have a consequence, whether it is good or bad. I believe when we do good, then goodness will return to us. However, if we do bad things, we will pay for it too.” Samuel said nothing. He carrie
